St Charles IL …and I love snow ❄️💙❄️and snow shoots with no sun !!! Yes being warm is key! And bring a cloth to wipe down your lens when it gets wet !!
Another Alaskan here! Another cold weather tip as someone who shoots ski races and is out in the cold for 6-8 at a time, I stick a toe warmer (toe warmers have a built in sticker, hand warmers do not) on my extra battery to keep it toasty.
I didn't realize you guys are from Wisconsin, fellow Wisco girl here! I actually love shooting in the snow. Places are a lot quieter. And that natural reflection of the snow cannot be beat. So beautiful!
LOL, I did a family session for 2 hours in 10 degree weather in Idaho! Oh my gosh I about died. No hand or foot warmers. Ugh I’m gonna need to think different from now on. 😂
"Next tip we have especially here where we live in Wisconsin is it gets very very cold below zero is to be careful with your...equipment" - I thought you'd say clients :)
Michigan in the UP. I don’t love shooting in the snow but I love the way it looks in the end 😁 I do it occasionally. I think it’s also important to watch the WB so you don’t get blue or yellow snow 🤣❄️ love your videos and reels ladies!
I'm in NE Oregon and we get really cold, and usually lots of snow, and do far this year we have had tons. I missed a hoars frost day, but did do my nephew's photos in the snow. Loved your hand warmer idea!
Hello, I’m John in southern New Mexico. I don’t shoot in the snow very often but I occasionally shoot at White Sands National Park. So, I was trying to refresh my memory of shooting in super high key conditions (i.e. camera settings for white sand or snow).
Canadian here! Love winter sessions. If it's cloudy, mid-day isn't bad. A bonus is that it is super easy to shoot in aperture priority (the camera isn't going to choose a problematic shutter speed or ISO when there is light bouncing everywhere). I like to shoot at about +-0 which ends up being a bit underexposed. My camera handles shadow recovery just fine. I like to focus on a nice simple location because I find less is more with a winterscape background for portraits.
Michigan gal here. 🤗I do not like winter and cold at all. Going to make a point of trying to shoot some snow sessions🥶. Hopefully we will actually get some nice snow this winter.
From NC, we don't get as much snow in the city as we used to : ( How do you set your white balance for snow pics to get good white snow instead of blue-ish snow...?
Thanks for the snow tips! How do you manage just cold days without the snow? The fall comes and goes too fast and I lose the awesome colors. Sometimes my family sessions end up around Thanksgiving and later where it ends up being a windy cold day. Do you have any tricks or tips to make use of the dull landscapes? Thanks!
Hi there! I am currently struggling with the focus on my 50 mm 1.8 g. What is your setting on for focus? Do you have any tips? For example, I’m trying to capture my babies little feet. For some reason, I can’t get them into focus. Am I too close? Also - from buffalo, New York. Lots of snow 😬
@@esquared.photography thank you!! Makes sense. Love this video by the way. I’m doing a maternity shoot when we get a good snow fall. We appreciate all the tips!
